PROCEDURE FOR PERFORMANCE COMPARISON TESTING USING MILITEC-1
-
Select at least eight weapons of the same type, age, and model. The weapons must be new, or, if previously operated, thoroughly cleaned with solvent.
-
Treat one-half of the weapons with MILITEC-1; treat the other half with the standard gun lubricant, per manufacturer's directions. To treat a weapon with MILITEC-1, apply a thin film to the bore and to all other metal surfaces (See detailed directions below).
-
Fire the eight weapons, at least a thousand rounds each, in real-world situations, including dirt, sand, dust, and moisture. (The weapons not treated with MILITEC-1 will likely jam, while the MILITEC-1 weapons continue firing.)
-
When firing is completed, clean all the weapons: a cloth patch moistened with MILITEC-1 will easily remove any debris from the MILITEC-1-treated weapons; the other weapons will likely be fouled with dirt and debris, may even show corrosion, and will require solvent to clean.
-
As a separate demonstration of MILITEC-1, conduct a bench test of a weapon before treating with MILITEC-1: measure muzzle velocity with a chronograph; measure the size of the group impacted at the target. Then treat the weapon, including the bore. Fire several rounds to bond the MILITEC-1, and then conduct the same bench test. Typically, MILITEC-1 treatment will produce higher muzzle velocities and a smaller group.
-
To compare MILITEC-1 with other weapons lubricants, bear in mind that MILITEC-1 is a performance product - any meaningful comparison must be of performance characteristics, between those of weapons treated with MILITEC-I and those of weapons treated with other products.
-
Live fire performance tests will compare the operating characteristics of MILITEC-1 treated weapons with those of weapons treated with other products. The test weapons should be operated in real-world conditions simulating combat.
-
It is critical to note that once a weapon is treated with MILITEC-1, it remains treated. This means that performance characteristics imparted by MILITEC-1 remain, even if another product is subsequently applied to the weapon - in that event, strong performance characteristics could mistakenly be attributed to the other product.
-
It is also important to test MILITEC-1 in environments where lubricants would evaporate off metal surfaces over time and not be available if weapons are needed for immediate use and have not been lubricated recently. The weapons can be left in an open, hot environment for 3- 6 months without further lubrication and still function as if the lubricant had just been applied.
